Just as with the Gauss hypergeometric function, particular cases of the local Heun function can be Liouvillian (that is, "elementary") functions. One way to obtain these functions is by pull-back transformations of Gauss hypergeometric…

The confluent Heun equation is one of 4 confluent forms of Heun's differential equation in which is the Fuchsian equation of second order with four regular singularities. A confluent Heun function is applicable to diverse areas such as…

Applying the approach based on the equation for the derivative, we construct several expansions of the solutions of the general Heun equation in terms of the incomplete Beta functions. Several expansions in terms of the Appell generalized…

In the paper we consider the Heun functions, which are solutions of the equation introduced by Karl Heun in 1889. The Heun functions generalize many known special functions and appear in many fields of modern physics. Evaluation of the…
